We would like to thank you all for the love and support that you have given the band members over the past few weeks, since the announcement that they had to postpone their UK tour, and now the first few European dates to accommodate Simon’s recent vocal problems.

The band were incredibly disappointed, as they had been looking forward to these shows for months and working hard to make them something really special. They also appreciate that the postponement has been very difficult for many of you too, particularly when you have booked holidays and traveled to get to the shows only to find that they weren’t going ahead. We have all tried to give you as much notice as possible, but ultimately we have had to work with our partners (promoters, booking agencies and insurance companies), as well as a team of medical advisers to make sure every thing was done correctly.

Duran Duran fully expects to be back in tip top form this summer, and are working hard with promoters to re-schedule all of the dates as soon as possible. We promise to keep you up to date via Duranduran.com.

In the meantime, we’ve uploaded their May 12th performance in Rome at RDS radio for you to enjoy as our thank you to all of the fans for sticking by the band during a very difficult time.
